Many criminal activities like human trafficking, cybercrime, drug trafficking, and organized crime go beyond national borders. Earlier this year, Interpol President, Maj Gen Ahmed Al Raisi mentioned that ransomware attacks and drug trafficking are among Asia’s top crime threats, and in the recent months, the organisation has captured a lot of fugitives from across the world who appeared on its red list in South Africa. In this conversation, we talk about how redlists, and the work INTERPOL does in assisting its 194 member nations to coordinate criminal investigations, providing resources, sharing intelligence data, and even serving as a diplomatic outlet among countries that may not have other diplomatic ties.

Andy Mashaile, Special Operations Strategist Cybersecurity Adviser at the International Cybersecurity & Investigation Committee joins Lerato Mbele for the conversation.
